Quilge stared at Vononkia in shock and outrage at how his prison was so easily disabled and even more so when the rest of the group spread out to stop the other flames from reaching the furnaces.

But he soon regains his composure.

'It would seem that I have underestimated you, commoners...' Quilge drew his sword and formed a bow from its handle. 'A mistake that will soon be corrected'

Then without warning, he pointed his saber at Vononkia and fired six arrows at once upon his enemy. As each of them exploded upon making contact with their target.

'Geeze...' Vononkia muttered dryly as the smoke settled, revealing that he protected himself from the arrows with a pair of reshi shields covering his arms. 'I was rather hoping that I didn't get to fight any tough enemies' He then lowered his arms and smirked at Quigle. 'But given that you are taking me seriously, I might as well take that as a compliment'

Quilge then sneered. 'Don't try to flatter yourself impure' He readied his sword again. 'For the I am only taking you as seriously as I need to squash an annoying insect!' The Traitor Quincy then narrowed his eyes. 'And unfortunately for the rest of you, I am not the only one sent here to accomplish our divine mission!

Later down one of the halls of Genhasa, Yuichi managed to destroy several furnaces from connecting to each. But when he was about to enter another room to repeat his progress. A large blond man in a black Quincy uniform suddenly appeared before him and immediately tried to crush him with an armored spiked gauntlet forcing Yuchi to dodge, and when the stranger flipped up his hood, he relived himself to be John Quart.

Then in another part of the prison, Robert was comforted by another black hooded Quincy, and when he pulled his hood up, they revealed themselves to be Joseph Black, the Regent of the Holy Kingdom.

'Joeseph...' Robert muttered. 'I had my suspicions, but to think that you would go so far as to threaten the entire Silver City itself !?' he pulled out one of his resolvers. 'Just what madness has possessed you to commit such treason!'

The man then smiled cruelly at Robert's words. 'Treason...you are assuming I was loyal to this forsaken Kingdom, to begin with!' he spat in disgust, glaring down at his foe. 'Or I would of been, If Yhwach hadn't diverted from the righteous path I had laid out before for him!'

Robert then frown. 'So you are willing to destroy the Holy Kingdom because our Majesty gave his people equal rights and thus no longer force to subjugate themselves to you?'

Joseph then furrows his eyes and bared his teeth in rage. 'Are you suggesting treating vermin as equals and being looked down upon them as laughing stooks as fair!?'

'The duty of the nobles as descendants of the first generation of the Sternrriter is to govern the Holy Kingdom justly. So they would not become as corrupt as the Five Great Clans of the Shinigmai!' Robert countered. 'That was why you and other families were given such power to begin with. Because the first King trusted that your ancestors and their descendants to carry out his will' Robert then closed his eyes. 'But instead of honoring it, you, your family, and other nobles abused your positions to extort and take advantage of the people you were sworn to protect as if the first king's will meant nothing to you!'

The old Starknight then opened his eyes up and glared viciously at Jesoph. 'And now you seek to burn it all down when the people are no longer willing to deal with your oppression'

Joseph then shook his fist in anger. 'We only enforced our will to persevere order and subjugated the impure so our nation would remain strong!'

'Your will enforced Tyranny and your subjection of the so-called impure crippled this Nation down to it's very core!' Robert argued back. 'And the fact you won't even accept it. Only proves that you and your followers have become just as corrupted as the Five Great Clans...'He then narrowed his eyes. 'If not worse'

The red-haired man's fury reached its breaking as a burst of bright flashing spiritual power rushed out of his body while Robert remained unfazed.

'Well then...' He spoke in an eerily calm tone that was nonetheless laced with venomous hatred. Then a moment later, Joseph raised his left arm relieving a Skavir Glove, and was soon engulfed in a massive beam of light that then warped around him and formed a pair of six bright disbodied wings of made out of golden reshi and behind his head a shining disk that illuminated the entire chamber he was in. Whike a transparent glowing sphere surrounded Joesph's whole body and dozens of orbs of light rotated around the top of it.

'We will see who knows what is best for the Soul Society, after you and everyone else are purged of it's sins!' He roared out and quickly shot a light beam from his floating spheres. Which Robert barely managed dodged out of the way, as part of his cloak was vaporized.

Meanwhile, Keigo Asano destroyed one of the fire generators in the hallways before it lite. But before he could enter the next hallway, he was stopped by a young a blonde-haired man with a pink strain of hair.

Keigo then Growled at Quincy. 'Get out of my way, traitor. I don't have time to play games with you! He demanded, but the Abyssal knight remained unmoved.

'If you have no time for games, then you would have more than enough time to cut me down,' he responded evenly before forming his bow. 'But that is of course, if you can accomplish even that'

Then Berenice grasped a black veil in his hand broke it and a grand torrent of black spiritual power engulfed his body much like Hubert before him and reluctantly, Keigo conjured his twin air swords and readied himself in a battle stance.

Meanwhile, in a secret room within tartarus, Ichigo had his head down, wondering how he could escape or if anyone was coming to rescue him, much to his embarrassment and shame. For here, he was the one person the people of this alternate universe placed their faith in saving their world from destruction. Twice over in this month alone, he had to be rescued and saved, first by underestimating the enemy and second by him failing into an obvious trap, and while he properly knows none of his friends and allies would blame him for ending up in this situation. He knew that with what everyone went through, he shouldn't have dragged any of them into this situation, to begin with, all because of his foolishness and weakness.

Then all of a sudden, he heard someone opening his chamber door, and to his surprise, he saw Bazz-B in his black Quincy uniform staring down at him...before launching several burner finger ones and burning off the chains that held his hands and feet, much to the teen's surprise.

'Come on...' Bazz-B ordered as he quickly reached Ichigo and held up to his feet before reach out his right hand. 'We need to get you out of here as soon as possible before the rest of the Abyssal Knights come,' he explained, and Ichigo, after a bit of hesitation, nodded and took the outstretched hand.
